MENTAL health issues are to be brought into the spotlight in Nottingham tomorrow.

Nottinghamshire Healthcare will host a day of activities at the Involvement Centre at Duncan Macmillan House, in Mapperley, to mark Time to Talk Day.

The event aims to get more people talking about mental health issues than ever before.

The centre will hold a talk between 1pm and 3pm about what makes people happy.

People are encouraged to take along pictures which symbolise happiness.

Professor Mike Cooke chief executive at Nottinghamshire Healthcare, said: "One in four people experience mental health problems and it's really important to look after yourself and others. We are supporting the campaign to break down the stigma attached to mental illness and encourage people to talk about it."

It's time we changed the name! Mental Illness still has a stigma attached to it, we need to move on and change the idea it only happens to someone else. Mind Trauma? I don't know but something needs to alter.
